The two McLaren drivers made contact in the late stages of the Canadian Grand Prix, resulting in Lando Norris’ retirement.

Lando Norris crashed out of the Canadian Grand Prix after a collision with his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri, marking a calamitous end to the British driver’s race.

Lando Norris retires after collision with Oscar Piastri

In the final laps, Norris had closed in on Piastri with the advantage of slightly fresher tyres and made a bold move down the inside at the hairpin, sparking a tense drag race down the back straight between the two McLarens as both had the advantage of DRS into the chicane.

Piastri held his position through the final chicane but, as Norris attempted to go around the outside, the two made contact down the pit straight, resulting in Norris losing his front wing and losing control to hit the pit wall.

The clash sent Norris into the wall and out of the race, drawing comparisons to the infamous collision between Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton – then-McLaren teammates- back in 2011.

Before clambering out of his car, Norris held his hands up to take responsibility for the collision.

“Yep, I’m sorry,” he said.

“It’s all my bad, all my fault.

“Unlucky, sorry.

“Stupid from me.”

Making his way to the media pen following the chequered flag, Norris approached his teammate to apologise for the collision.
